Abstract
AbstractThis paper analyses the transmission of the text of Horace Walpole's Description of Strawberry Hill from the printing of its first component in 1760 to its last appendix in 1791 and beyond. It uses Walpole's copious manuscript amendments in a number of copies to consider the purpose of the book in the context both of the steady stream of visitors to Walpole's collection at Strawberry Hill and of Walpole's passionate engagement in recording that ever‐expanding collection. It also discusses a number of unrecorded examples of printing from Walpole's Strawberry Hill Press, which the research for the paper has revealed.
